AussieInBgAugust 2020 Firstly, "tedious" and "boring" are synonymous with the sense of "uninteresting", but "tedious" has a much stronger meaning than "boring" for several reasons. We also tend to use "tedious" for activities which produce emotional responses such as anger / nervousness etc as a result of both being uninteresting and for the continuation of the activity. "My job is boring." = The work that I do is uninteresting, but I don't feel so emotional about it. "Reading this book is tedious!" = I feel annoyed/angry/nervous reading this book because it is so uninteresting! |
